This website area provides a broad representation of the research being conducted in fibromyalgia. You’ll find more specific scientific results in the Central Nervous System area and under NFRA Symposiums.

Abstracts of Scientific Papers – view the abstracts we share with medical professionals when we exhibit at medical conferences—with additions of even more recent abstracts as articles we feel are important are published. The internet provides the opportunity to update on a more frequent basis than the printing of conference materials.

Research Study Participation – many patients ask us where they can go to participate in research studies. They want to help. In this area we ’ve provided the link to clinical trials registered with the federal government and will add information about specific studies seeking participants as we hear from researchers.

Specific Topics – we use this area to provide articles on specific topics in fibromyalgia about which we’ve received questions or topics we feel should be explored in more detail. This site will change over time.

NFRA Funded Research– since our founding in 1992, we have funded research in a variety of areas. As funds are available we’ll continue to fund research in areas in which we have a special interest. This area provides a listing of where we’ve provided funds, with links to resulting abstracts, reports or articles as they are available.
